Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The restaurant La Sfida is an Italian restaurant with a nice concept.
You can have small dishes of good Italian food in an "all you can eat" concept.
However, the restaurant stands for good quality instead of quantity and the staff friendly.
Its a "must try" if you like real Italian food.

Simple dressed, wooden floor, tabletops of it looks like beachcombers wood, no music (thankfully), but delicious food! Various Italian dishes, no spaghetti etc., but small - also announced - pizzas. Beforehand we had a focaccia, delicious, fresh, crispy, with pesto, to kiss. For the main course a small pizza each. Delicious dough, delicious tomato sauce, and I 4 delicious cheeses. Delicious! Nowhere dark brown or black, that wants to happen again, but not here. An excellent house wine and our evening could not go wrong!

Extraordinary place, away from the hustle and bustle of Hoorn's restaurants. We found this restaurant while walking and were attracted by its presentation, we were surprised by the excellent service and quality of its food. We would return to this place many times!!!!!!!

I haven't been there for quite some time and I am therefore somewhat surprised that the entire concept of small tastings has changed into a regular menu.
We chose the 5 course menu and received 4 after we reported 2 shellfish allergies. The encore was an apparently larger portion of risotto, which was immediately applied to the entire dish without consultation.
Too bad, but the price-quality ratio has disappeared. Reason for us to unfortunately say goodbye while we were so enthusiastic before.

We had a menu of 55. Small but excellent starter.
Garnish carpaccio not so nice and too much mayonnaise.
Dessert cake from frozen, I think.
Previous experiences were more positive
And afterwards we saw €14 charged for a dessert wine offered by the host. He didn't ask what we wanted to drink but offered this drink. Not really hospitable (water also by the bottle). It's a difficult time for the catering industry, but this doesn't really seem to work.

Mi dispiace tanto leggere queste parole
I nostri dolci sono tutti freschi e fatti in casa.
Scusate forse ci siamo mal capiti.
Il vino da dessert è solo una proposta da abbinare al dolce.
Ci rifaremo la prossima volta.

If you want to explore the Italian kitchen, then La Sfida is a must. I have experienced the Italian taste menu a couple times now and everytime is a delight. The people who work there are super accommodating and very friendly. Great food and great wine for a great price, would recommend.

Starters are fine, but would you call a broom salty bacon roll as a main course a rolling!? Bad. And €7.70 for a glass of wine? Where am I? At the Shangri La or something? In any case, the prices were exorbitantly high. Price/quality ratio is hard to find here.

Buongiorno Signora cara.
Mi dispiace sentire che la nostra Porchetta Romana non vi è piaciuta. La Porchetta è normale che sia un po’ salata a causa del condimento.
Per quanto riguarda il vino lei ha scelto un vino di €7,70. Perché abbiamo anche il vino della casa €5,50 a calice.
Buona giornata

The restaurant has an "all you can eat"-concept, but don't let this scare you: it is nothing like the lousy food barns who do the same thing. The food is simply incredible and the staff is super friendly. The menu is very extensive and the portions aren't too big so you can try a lot of different items. I absolutely love going here.

We were a group of four around Hoorn, all Italians living in the Netherlands for already quite some years and we decided to try this Italian restaurant, quite sure we were going to find the usual Italian restaurant that can be found outside Italy. No idea could be more wrong! The kitchen offers a very wide variety of different and real Italian dishes and it's moreover possible to try them all, in a very convenient all you can eat formula. The chefs Francesco and Sara will delight you with their amazing food, that really brings the real Italian scent! My personal suggestions is to ask the chef to propose himself the different dishes, and you won't regret.
Grande sfida, siamo sicuri che la vincerete!

This restaurant is quite simply miraculous. For a fixed and very reasonable price, unlimited options of fine Italian cuisine are served to you with flair, distinction and pride. The quality of the dishes is second to none, the staff are delightful and the reception is warm and friendly. We were so completely bowled over that we went back for a second night, and it was even better. This restaurant is enough in itself to justify a visit to Hoorn. Completely wonderful.

The reviews are very misleading, I don't believe this is the 3rd best restaurant in in Hoorn, poor quality food, the same sauce seemed to be used for numerous dishes, also too expensive for quality. I will not be back.

Found this place by chance and had a lovely meal. The 26€ menu offers so many options to try, all served as small portions so you can try a decent number and enjoy the variety. Really nice past and pizza and the dessert was good too. Great value.

It was really a very pleasant surprise. Generally the cuisine of Italian restaurants, in a foreign land, is really bad. Here, instead, it was like being at home. Same tastes, same flavors, great quality and refinement. If we lived here, we would return very often. Francesco and Sara are fantastic and the Albanian waiter, very nice. I wish you great success. You deserve it.
